Overview

AI-generated overview

A remote dead-man switch for AI agents and scheduled jobs: register a monitor, send heartbeats with state capsules, and get alerts plus resume state when an run

What you can do
Register agents or scheduled jobs to be watched, receiving a monitor ID and secret, and remove monitors when no longer needed (secret or owning key required). Send periodic heartbeats to mark a monitor alive, optionally attaching a JSON state capsule of up to 32KB describing the current step, what is done, what is next and relevant IDs, or report a failure immediately. Retrieve the last state capsule a monitored agent sent so work can resume from where it stopped. View all monitors you own with alive, late or dead status, last heartbeat time and a capsule preview.
When to use it
Use it when long-running agents or cron jobs need supervision: you want to be alerted if they silently stop, and you want enough saved state to resume after a crash. It suits operators running several autonomous jobs who need a fleet overview.
Requirements
A remote endpoint at api.aislabs.ai over streamable HTTP; no local package. A free tier allows one monitor per alert target; a Gateway key unlocks more monitors, stored capsules and the fleet view. Monitors are identified by a monitor ID and secret.
Before you install
The free tier limits monitoring; stored capsules and fleet visibility require a paid Gateway key. Heartbeats can carry arbitrary JSON state, so avoid putting secrets or sensitive data in capsules. Registering and deleting monitors changes server-side state, and deleting requires the monitor secret or owning key.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open AIS Agent Flight Recorder — dead-man alerts & resume for AI agents in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Web executable via Streamable HTTP. Remote servers run from the web runtime once configured in a workspace.

Use with an agent

Paste this prompt into Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or another agent — or into SourceWeft chat. The agent reads this server's install guide, shows you its publisher, endpoint and sign-in, and adds it to your client once you agree. Keys never go into a command.

Read https://sourceweft.com/mcp/ai.aislabs%2Frecorder/install.md and connect the MCP server it describes to my client. Before changing any config, show me its publisher, endpoint and sign-in method and wait for my OK. Never put an API key in a command or in a file I would commit; ask me where it should come from.

Read the install guide the agent follows

register_monitor

Agent Flight Recorder — FREE (1 monitor per alert target) / Gateway key (20 monitors + stored capsules + fleet view). Register an agent or scheduled job to be watched: you get a monitor_id + secret; the agent then calls heartbeat every period_minutes. If heartbeats stop for period + grace, the alert target (Discord/HTTPS webhook and/or email) is notified with the last state capsule and a resume link.

heartbeat

Agent Flight Recorder — "still alive" ping for a registered monitor. Include capsule (any JSON ≤32KB: current step, done, next, ids) so a dead-man alert can carry resume state (stored on the key tier). status:"fail" reports a failure immediately.
